OPERATION
Shorten the driveline profiles as follows:
• Remove the driveline from the tractor.
• Position the mower to the point with the shortest
distance between the tractor PTO shaft and cutter
gearbox. Shut down the tractor and securely block
the mower in this position.
• Pull driveline apart and reattach yoke to PTO shaft.
• Hold driveline sections parallel to one another and
measure back 1” from yoke of each shaft and place
mark on opposite section. Cut this length off with a
saw.
• Round off all sharp edges and debur.
• Thoroughly grease then reinstall the driveline.
• Recheck for proper operation.
Engagement Check Procedure
• With the driveline attached, position the mower to the
point where the telescoping driveline is at its maximum extension. Completely shut down the tractor and secure in
position.
• Mark the inner driveline shield 1/8” from the end of the outer shield.
• Disconnect the driveline from the tractor and separate the two driveline halves.
• Measure the distance from the mark to the end of the inner profile. This length is the amount the driveline profiles
were engaged.
• If the engaged length is less than 12” the shaft is considered too short and should be replaced with a longer shaft.
Consult an authorized dealer to purchase the required driveline length.
NOTE: If the driveline cannot be shortened and still maintain the required profile engagement, the operator must be made
aware of terrain conditions and avoid situations which pose a potential problem to avoid damaging the driveline.
OPS-F-0002
9. PRE-OPERATION INSPECTION AND SERVICE
Before each use, a pre-operation inspection and service of the implement and tractor must be performed.
This includes routine maintenance and scheduled lubrication, inspecting that all safety devices are equipped
and functional, and performing needed repairs. DO NOT operate the unit if the pre-operation inspection
reveals any condition affecting safe operation. Perform repairs and replacement of damaged and missing
parts as soon as noticed. By performing a thorough pre-operation inspection and service, valuable down time
and repair cost can be avoided. OPS-U-0029
Always disconnect the main PTO Driveline from the Tractor before performing service on
the Mower. Never work on the Mower with the tractor PTO driveline connected and
running. Blades or Drivelines could turn without warning and cause immediate
entanglement, injury or death.
